Way to go! Upgrade all you want! A chocolate covered piece of sh!t still tastes like .... well, you get the picture. Or, maybe you dont..]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/I have to agree that the commercial stations are all the same (i.e. crap, even if chocolate covered) however the BBC bradcasting is second to none, and with DAB I get a lot more BBC stations, such as comedy and talk shows.
Having played with most of the current personal/portable DAB players, this Sony is the smallest, best looking piece of kit with the usual Sony build quality.
Like it or not DAB is one technology that has been of a benifit to me and others, I just hope that its here to stay.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/08/sonys-xdr-m1-dab-fm-walkman/
But DAB isn't broadcast in the USA. At all.

See "HD Radio" for the digital radio delivery method for the USA. So buying one of these, unless you intend to use it in Europe or a major Canadian city, would be a complete waste of cash!

And I'm not so sure cirius and xm are worried too much about a system that doesn't broadcast to their market ;)
